An industrial wind turbine has blades that are 35 m long. On a 20?C day, wind at atmospheric pressure blows with a velocity of 12 m/s , and wind in the turbine wake only has a velocity of 11 m/s . (a) Will the turbine’s wake have a smaller, larger, or the same cross-sectional area compared to the area the blades sweep out. Why? Calculate this area. Hint: At velocities much lower than the speed of sound, with small pressure...

There is a wind turbine that has three propeller blades (can be approximated as thin rods) that are 10.0kg in mass and 4.00m in length. The generator is not hooked up, so the blades can move freely. This means the only torque on the blades comes from the wind. The wind starts up and the blades go from rest to 3.00rad/s. a. What is the angular acceleration of the turbine blades? b. What is the moment of inertia (I) of...

A wind turbine has a total height of 50m, with 3 equally spaced blades that are 16m in diameter. 1) Create equations modelling the height of points on the tips of blades One, Two and Three. Graph these three curves on one graph. 2) Maintenance can only be done on the blades when the points on blades Two and Three are at the same height. Identify the rotation angles when this would occur as well as the height of the...

A typical wind turbine extracts 40% of the kinetic energy of the wind that blows through the area swept by the blades. For a large turbine 110,000 kg of air moves past the blades at 13 m/s every second. A. Sketch the turbine and the air passing ‘through’ it. B. How much power does the turbine extract? C. If the turbine converts 80% of the power into electric energy, how much electric power is produced?

A typical wind turbine extracts 40% of the kinetic energy of the wind that blows through the area swept by the blades. For a large turbine, 120,000 kg of air moves past the blades at 16m/s every second. If the wind turbine extracts 40% of this kinetic energy, and if 80% of this energy is converted to electric energy, what is the power output of the generator?

A wind turbine has a radius of 30 m, a moment of inertia of 9.0 × 106kg⋅m2, and rotates with an initial angular speed of 2.0 rad/s. When the wind speed increases, the turbine experiences a net torque of 1.6× 105N⋅m. What is the linear speed of the tips of the turbine blades 27 s after the acceleration begins?

An engineer is testing a large wind turbine that is used generating energy. Intially the large wind blades are locked in place and not rotating. In a steady wind, a t=0st=0s the engineer releases the blades and they begin to rotate. The engineer notes from the instruments that at t=15st=15s one of the blades made one-half of a rotation. What is the angular acceleration of the blades, assuming the acceleration is constant? 0.056rad/s20.056rad/s2 0.14rad/s20.14rad/s2 0.028rad/s2
